And if you really want a transcendent emotional experience, watch this video of Wong doing a live reading-ukulele mashup at HippoCamp back in the summer of 2019.

Now that you’ve enjoyed some belly laughs, you may be more emotionally prepared to enjoy a good cry. Maybe lock yourself in the bathroom to read this so the laughs won’t be interrupted. (Fingers crossed!) These books with their lovable ensemble cast have me in nonstop stitches, which can be handy when you’re having a rough day managing your child’s distance learning while simultaneously keeping your career afloat and you desperately need anything to smile about.

The third one is slated to come out in mid-July. Murder on the Rockport Limited! is the second book in the series. The Adventure Zone series is the graphic novelization of a humorous D&D podcast. The Adventure Zone: Murder on the Rockport Limited! by Clint McElroy, Griffin McElroy, Justin McElroy, Travis McElroy, and Carey Pietschīefore digging into the sob stories, let me recommend a series that will have you LOLing on every page. The comics below have helped me feel all of the feels in a controlled environment that only my husband has accidentally glimpsed because, well, we share a bedroom. If you could use a good laugh-cry-snort, too, I’ve got you covered. By signing up you agree to our terms of use Thank you for signing up! Keep an eye on your inbox.
